The insurance industry and Government has long been suspicious of fraudulent and exaggerated claims for compensation.
In an attempt to identify bogus claims for compensation the Government has decided to put in place an independent medical panel in the belief that this will somehow save help the situation.
As only a limited amount of doctors also have an interest in carrying out medico-legal work it seems implausible that they will not simply all apply to join the Government independent’s independent medical panel and this is yet another example of the insurance industry’s short sighted approach to tackling fraudulent or exaggerated claims.
